Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Zhao Ci, thinking that he was a man and shouldn't go in to help, suggested that Aunt Shen go in instead. Aunt Shen was a woman, older, and would surely know about childbirth. Even if she couldn't be of much help, she could at least assist and hand things over.

Sun Changzai was very grateful for Zhao Ci's thoughtfulness.

He brought his wife to Beijing this time, and they were in a hurry on the way. His wife only had a young maidservant with her, who was indeed not as useful as this old lady.

The woman named, Aunt Shen, who was actually the disguised Eighth Princess of Shuo Kingdom, Shangguan Yuqing, froze for a moment.

Damn, she's never even held a man's hand, let alone had a child.

Should we ask her to help?

How can I help?

Well, let's just take it one step at a time...

Shangguan Yuqing nodded, put down the rag, and followed the female doctors inside.

She was dressed in a drab, coarse cloth outfit, her hair was wrapped in an old cloth, her face was painted with some kind of paint, her skin was dull and sallow, and there were several realistic wrinkles drawn at the corners of her eyes. She looked exactly like a middle-aged woman in her fifties who had worked hard in the kitchen for most of her life.

Yun Shengsheng asked the system in her mind: "System, is she Shangguan Yuqing?"

The disguise was so perfect; if I hadn't known it was her beforehand, I wouldn't have been able to tell at all.

The furry system blinked: "Yes, it's her."

"Host, do you want to notify the authorities and have her arrested? After all, the Shuo Kingdom delegation is still searching for her all over the capital!"

Yun Shengsheng frowned and shook her head: 【Um, let's forget about it!】

[Firstly: So many people couldn't find the Eighth Princess, yet I, a young girl, discovered her. Don't you find that strange?]

Secondly, you've been watching her for so long, haven't you already confirmed that she's all alone and not a spy from the Shuo Kingdom? She really is very honest; she's almost never left the inn, and her daily activities consist of washing dishes in the kitchen and occasionally wiping tables.

[Besides, I think she did it on purpose at the old emperor's birthday banquet. She made the Shuo Kingdom lose face, but saved the Great Xuan Kingdom's reputation.]

Therefore, I think this person isn't a bad person, at least not one of the Shuo Kingdom's people, so I don't want to make things difficult for her for now.

Let's wait and see what she does next. If she does something bad, then we can deal with her later.

[But I also want to test whether she is from another world.]

System: "Okay, host, I'll keep a close eye on her."

The host has been so good to him, even giving him two promotions; he absolutely cannot let the host down...

Yan Shijin listened to Yun Shengsheng's innermost thoughts.

Naturally, he saw Shangguan Yuqing immediately.

I never expected that she would actually be hiding here.

However, thinking back to the time when Shangguan Yuqing fainted in the main hall, it was indeed too coincidental. Now that I think about it, it was probably intentional, just as Sheng Sheng said.

On the surface, Shuo Kingdom sent envoys to offer birthday greetings, but behind the scenes, they were plotting to humiliate Da Xuan in public.

As a result, his attempt to steal a chicken backfired spectacularly. Not only did he fail to embarrass the Great Xuan Dynasty, but he also lost his own princess, losing both face and substance.

Prince Taishen is now stuck in Daxuan, unsure whether to leave or stay.

The inn's room fees are burning through money every day, and the princess can't find him, so they'll have a hard time explaining themselves when they get back. These past few days, the Shuo Kingdom delegation has been as anxious as ants on a hot plate.

Yan Shijin's eyes darted around, and a beautiful smile curved her lips.

Perhaps he could help Sheng Sheng...

Inside the house, Mei Jiang, along with Old Li and four female doctors, had already approached Cui Shi.

Cui was lying on her side on the bed, her lips were dry and cracked, her face was sallow, and she was so thin that all that remained of her body was an unusually large belly.

She suddenly saw so many people come in and struggled to sit up. She had just lifted herself up half an inch by bracing herself on the bed when Mei Jiangyi gently pressed her shoulder down and helped her back down: "Sister Cui, don't move. Let my master and a few doctors take a look at you first."

Upon hearing that it was Mei Jiangyi's master, Cui's eyes lit up instantly: "Yes, I won't move. Thank you for coming!"

"Thank you so much!"

Her belly has been getting bigger and bigger these days, and she hasn't been getting enough rest. She's constantly worried that something might happen to her and the children, and how her husband would cope.

How will her child survive?

Now that Little Mei has actually invited Old Li, who is said to be a miracle doctor, does that mean she can survive?

Old Master Li gently comforted her, "Madam Cui, please don't be so polite. Let me take your pulse first."

He sat down by the bed and placed his fingers on Cui's wrist for pulse.

He closed his eyes and worked on it for a while, then switched to the other hand and continued working.

The four female doctors took turns taking her pulse and carefully felt the position of the fetus in Cui's abdomen through her clothes. Their expressions were different, but they all looked solemn.

After the inspection was completed, everyone retreated to a nearby room, closed the door, and talked.

Yun Shengsheng followed her in and sat down to listen.

Old Li spoke first, his tone somber: "Let's all speak, what are your opinions?"

One of the older female doctors spoke first: "Dr. Li, I felt the fetal movements in her womb, and I could feel more than two places. There should be more than three fetuses in her womb, at least three."

Another, younger female doctor frowned: "I think I felt four fetal movements, two in my abdomen and two on my side, all very noticeable."

These words caused everyone present to look even more gloomy.

Twin pregnancies are already a life-threatening situation; out of ten women carrying twins, only one or two will be able to give birth safely.

But Cui might be carrying more than three babies right now—four? Five? No one dared to guess any further.

Yun Shengsheng listened intently, her small eyebrows furrowing.

Old Li nodded: "My pulse also suggests a fourth pregnancy. How should we deliver this baby? What are your thoughts?"

The group members shared their opinions and discussed various solutions.

Most of the plans involve acupuncture combined with herbal medicine to improve Cui's physical condition as much as possible, and then finding several experienced midwives to prepare manpower in advance so that they can do their best during labor and see if she can have a natural birth.

In addition, several emergency life-saving pills should be prepared in advance, in case Cui becomes weak during childbirth, ginseng soup and emergency pills should be given to keep her alive, and precautions should be taken against massive bleeding...

As Yun Shengsheng listened to these proposals, her mind was racing.

These methods alone are certainly not enough. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can improve Cui's strength by a little, but how can she deliver three or four babies naturally?

[If one gets stuck, the others won't be able to come out, leading to massive bleeding, stillbirth, and maternal exhaustion—the consequences could be unimaginable.]

I actually already have another plan in mind, but I haven't figured out how to bring it up. After all, I'm only five years old, and mentioning a C-section would be too sensational.

Yan Shijin, who was waiting at the door, paused in his tea-drinking motion upon hearing her thoughts.

What is a cesarean section?

Cesarean section?

Is that what he meant...?
